The Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA)

The Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) is a division of the U.S. Department of Labor that oversees and enforces laws related to workplace retirement plans, health insurance, and other employee benefits. Its goal is to ensure that these benefits are managed properly, transparently, and fairly for employees. EBSA provides guidance to employers, investigates complaints, and enforces compliance to protect workers’ rights and ensure their benefits are secure. Essentially, it helps make sure that employees receive the benefits they are entitled to and that employers follow the rules governing benefit plans.
